![]() ![]() Configuration of the system is done via the cloud using a drag and drop interface. This provides a multi-protocol gateway between KNX, ZigBee, Wi-Fi and LAN for full operability with Gewiss domotic solutions using the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform. Gewiss was showing a complete home automation system based on its ‘Smart Gateway’. In a separate announcement, Schneider said that it is collaborating with Somfy and Danfoss on a connectivity ecosystem aimed at homes, mid-range buildings and hotels, that will work with KNX and other systems. Schneider Electric Wiser Radiator Thermostat (left) and Wiser KNX Logic Controller (right). A Wiser for KNX logic controller (formerly known as HomeLynk) is also available, providing a gateway between KNX, ModBus, BACnet and IP, and offering remote access and control of lights, blinds, heating, cooling, energy metering, a scheduler, an IP camera and new IoT applications. Wiser includes an app and intelligent switches, dimmers, radio sensors, radiator thermostats and energy monitoring systems. Schneider Electric announced the imminent launch of the Wiser family of products to allow wireless control of major residential applications via a smart device or voice control. Demo of the BAB voice control functionality and Smart Screens smartphone app (left) and the BAB Appmodule (right). In addition, a brand new ‘Smart Screens’ app allows control of any IoT, KNX and EnOcean devices in one interface via smartphone. ![]() The Appmodule also features integrated KNX router functionality and KNX project import. It works with Amazon Alexa, Sonos, Philips hue, Netatmo, IFTTT, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, DoorBird and other smart home apps. Hager’s Sven Lübeck demonstrating the Hager IoT software alongside the Philips Hue.īAB Technologie was showing the BAB Appmodule which is designed to allow you to connect the IoT with KNX and EnOcean using touch or voice control. ![]() Hager also offers IoT software to interface the system with Philips Hue lighting etc and to allow remote control via mobile devices, including messaging from door communications. It can be used with Hager actuators, Berker push button switches and Elcom door communication. On show was the Domovea Easy server using the Hager ‘KNX easy’ commissioning software, designed for programming simpler systems such as single-family homes. Hager was showing combined solutions for the smart home using products from Hager and its Berker and Elcom brands. KNX Association KNX IoT Architect, Dries Verbrugge, explaining the principles of KNX IoT. Also in the KNX IoT City were Thread and Fairhair, the two industrial consortia with which KNX Association is partnering to define secure KNX IoT specifications (more on that in articles to follow). KNX IoT will use the standardised JSON-LD linked data format to share semantic knowledge. One of the key issues with IoT is semantics whereby devices can understand each other, and humans can understand what a device or service offers. This showed how a KNX system can be extended using wired and wireless local connections and integration with the cloud. As one would expect, KNX Association provided a super overview of KNX IoT in the KNX IoT City. A notable difference from L+B 2016 is how KNX IoT has developed. The trade fair theme was ‘Connected-Secure-Convenient’, and KNX certainly lived up to this. The KNX IoT City was located in the Galleria of the Frankfurt Messe. ![]() In this part, we will cover a selection of IoT, home automation, HVAC, water management, lighting and shading products and technologies. There was something for everyone and so much on show from KNX manufacturers, service providers and the KNX Association, that our show report has been split into several parts, some of which have been published this month. Light + Building 2018 was a real treat for the KNX professional. ![]()
